[Elecraft] Balanced solution for KAT500 tuner?

[David Gilbert]

I don't believe that is necessarily true.  Can you cite a reference to 
back up that statement?  Or at least describe in physical terms (Q, 
currents, voltages, component loss, etc) why that would be so? I'm 
honestly curious what the difference would be.
